Omninput by Ontiqo

Privacy Policy

Last updated 22 October 2026

1. Scope

This policy applies to the Omninput application (Omninput), the website at omninput.app (the Website) and the checkout at ontiqo.com/checkout/omninput (the Checkout), all provided by Ontiqo Pty Ltd (ACN 701 340 418) of Daylesford, Victoria, Australia (Ontiqo, we, us).

2. Data exchanged between your computers

Omninput operates between the computers on your local network. It transmits keyboard and mouse input, copied content (text, images, files and folders), sound, the files in folders you choose to synchronise, computer names and SSH public keys directly between your own computers. None of this information is sent to Ontiqo or to any other party.

3. Data sent over the internet

  1. Licence checks. Omninput checks your licence with the Microsoft Store, for a licence bought there, or with Polar, our payment provider, for a licence key. A licence-key check sends the key, the computer’s name, its operating system and a random identifier that Omninput generated for that computer, so that the key can count and list the computers on which it is used. This occurs when the key is entered and approximately once a day thereafter.
  2. Your Ontiqo account (optional). If you sign in to your Ontiqo account in Omninput, the account service stores what section 4 lists. Omninput then checks the account approximately once a day.
  3. Update checks. Approximately twice a day, Omninput reads the list of current versions from the Website. The request identifies the version of Omninput making it and no other information about you or your computer.
  4. Installers. When another computer on your network requests an installer, Omninput downloads it once from the Website and retains it. When you choose Update now, Omninput downloads the new version from the Website or from download.omninput.app, which we also operate.
  5. No other collection. Apart from the optional Ontiqo account, Omninput has no user account, and no analytics, advertising or crash reporting.

4. Your Ontiqo account

Signing in is optional; Omninput works without it. Your Ontiqo account is the one account for every Ontiqo app, kept by the Ontiqo account service at ontiqo.com. For Omninput it stores:

  1. an account identifier and when the account was created;
  2. how you sign in. For Google, Apple or Microsoft: the user identifier that service gives us and the email address it gives, which your account shows; for Sign in with Apple, also a token Apple issues so that your Apple sign-in can be revoked when you delete the account. For email: your email address, and while a 6-digit code is waiting to be used, a hash of it, when it expires, how many tries it has had and counts of recent codes, so that sending can be limited (Omninput signs in with a code, not a password);
  3. for each computer you sign in: an identifier and a public key that Omninput generates on that computer (the private key never leaves it), the app, the computer’s name, its platform, and when it was added and last checked in, so that your account can count and list your computers and you can remove one; and
  4. the Omninput licences bought with your account’s email address through the Checkout (Home, Site, and an upgrade from Home), with the product, when it was bought, whether it is still active and Polar’s identifiers for the order.

Sign-in codes are sent by email through our mail provider, Purelymail. Google, Apple and Microsoft handle their part of a sign-in under their own privacy policies. Signing out of Omninput removes that computer from your account. Deleting your account, in Omninput (Settings › General › Licence › Delete account…) or at ontiqo.com/account, deletes it for every Ontiqo app: everything above that identifies you is erased at once, Apple sign-in tokens are revoked, and every computer is signed out. A record of each purchase is kept without a link to you, so that a purchase can be restored to a new account. Cloudflare, which hosts the service, handles request data under its own privacy policy. The Ontiqo privacy policy covers the account website itself.

5. Data stored on each computer

Settings, the list of trusted computers, licence details and the state of synchronised folders are stored on each computer in Omninput’s settings folder. Files replaced or deleted by folder synchronisation are kept for 30 days in a recovered-files folder on that computer and then removed. Uninstalling Omninput removes its settings; SSH keys that Omninput added to your SSH folder remain until you remove them.

6. The Website

The Website is hosted by Cloudflare, which keeps ordinary web server logs for the pages and downloads it serves.

7. The Microsoft Store

If you install Omninput from the Microsoft Store, Microsoft handles the download, updates and purchases under Microsoft’s own privacy statement. We receive only aggregate figures in the Store dashboard, such as install, purchase and crash counts, and nothing that identifies you.

8. Purchases through the Checkout

When you buy through the Checkout, including from within Omninput, Polar (polar.sh) is the merchant of record. Polar takes the payment, handles sales tax and sends your receipt and licence key, under its own privacy policy. Polar provides us with your name, email address, country and order so that we can support your purchase. We do not receive your card details. While the checkout is open, Omninput asks the Checkout for the key of that one purchase so that it can enter the key for you; that request carries only a random code generated for the purchase.

9. Support requests

Support requests made through the form at ontiqo.com/support, or by email, are handled under the Ontiqo privacy policy.

10. Access, correction and complaints

You may request access to, or correction of, personal information we hold about you, or make a complaint, through the support form. We handle personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles. Where another law applies to you, including the GDPR or the UK GDPR, you retain the rights it gives you. Complaints may also be made to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (oaic.gov.au) or to the supervisory authority where you live.

11. Changes

We may amend this policy at any time. The version published on the Website, with the date shown above, applies.
